This could be relaxed a little bit. The rules that disallow
controversial topics sure don't stop arguing and ill-will on the
bands. :-(


There is no rule against controversial topics. However there is a
recommendation that one use common sense and remember that on the air we
should be ambassadors of good will. So it is considered inappropriate to
discuss such subjects with a stranger, especially those in other countries,
since you may inadvertently offend them.

On the other hand, discussing a controversial subject with someone you know
well is reasonable.
